Celta Vigo - Levante

Can Celta Vigo rediscover their rhythm as they host Levante at Abanca Balaidos on 8 November 2026 for matchday 12 of LaLiga? The hosts arrive following a difficult period, having suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat against Rayo Vallecano and a midweek Europa League loss. With Alvaro Nunez and Miguel Roman sidelined, the expected XI features Iago Aspas leading the line alongside Ferran Jutgla and Hugo Alvarez. The tactical balance will rely on the midfield trio of Aleix Febas, Ilaix Moriba, and Javi Rodriguez to provide defensive cover for the backline.

Levante travel to the coast aiming to bounce back from consecutive league defeats against Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad. Despite these setbacks, they previously showcased attacking intent in a 3-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao. Managerial plans are complicated by the absences of Manuel Sanchez and Enzo Bardeli, leaving Mathew Ryan to anchor a defense featuring Jeremy Toljan and Adrian De La Fuente. With the head-to-head record showing a tight 3-2 Levante win in May, both sides will be desperate to claim points and climb the table.
